Should I trust him or not?
That was the first thought that came to Ritz's mind as he looked at Li Ke's outstretched hand.
"If this kind of power is properly guided, then his final achievements will surpass his own. Even if his magic goes through enough learning and training, it won't be inferior to the power of the World Runes. It will only be limited by his own magic power. If that's the case, will he be the best keeper of the World Runes?
At this thought, Ritz saw an illusion. Li Ke's surging magic power activated the remaining power of the World Runes in Ritz's body, allowing him to see the invincible power. With just the thought of a fanatic, a prosperous city protected by countless powerful mages and magic circles turned into a sea of fire in an instant. Magma appeared out of thin air, and even the buildings turned into flames and magma under its power.
Countless people screamed in agony. His hometown was destroyed in an instant. And this happened because he was one step too slow.
It was just one step.
The immense guilt, self-blame, and pain made him take a deep breath. The power of the World Runes also dissipated because of his sobriety. The whispers hidden under various voices, the voices that told the knowledge of the world, the voices that told you what you could do with it, and the voices that told you the most essential truth of the world, disappeared the moment he struggled out.
But what worried him was that he seemed to have understood some of the power of the World Runes.
It wasn't something that was incomprehensible. The World Runes themselves represented the rules of the world. Therefore, when one came into contact with the World Runes and had enough knowledge and wisdom, one could obtain all kinds of 'knowledge' about the world from the World Runes. If one could fully comprehend the power of a World Rune, then even if one didn't use the World Runes, one could still do things that could only be done with the World Runes.
"Ordinary travelers don't have such magic."
Ryze took a deep breath and suppressed his greed, fear, and palpitations. He held Li Ke's hand, but he also prepared a counterattack. As long as Li Ke showed any signs of attacking, he would instantly blast Li Ke into ashes with his magic.
"Maybe I've been through a lot. Let me introduce myself. I'm Li Ke, someone who wants to go home but can't because of the Dark Ones."
Li Ke smiled and let go of Ritz's hand. In fact, he was very surprised because Ritz's hand was not very strong. Instead, it was very light, as if something had been sucked out. It was very tiring. However, if you used a little bit of strength, you would feel like you had encountered a blue whale in deep waters. It was stifling, and she couldn't breathe.
"Ha, Dark Ones? You really know how to cause trouble, but I won't tell you my name. Otherwise, you will encounter even more trouble. "
Ritz breathed a sigh of relief for himself and for the young man in front of him. He was actually very conflicted right now. Just like countless times before, he was afraid that this young man would start to pursue the shortcut because of his great power, which was the power of the World Rune. Or perhaps, he was too arrogant and thought that he could perfectly control the Rune. But if Li Ke was an ordinary person, he would be worried that this young man would pry into the power of the Rune and fall into it like Kylan, unable to extricate himself. In the end, he would no longer be himself.
Then, he laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head. Because his old habit was acting up again. Whenever he met someone who looked like a good person, he would want to hand over his burden to them so that he could escape from this torment. From the fear and anxiety that if he was a little slower, the world would be destroyed, and the tragedy of his hometown would once again occur.
But every time, he would immediately doubt whether the person he chose could last for a long time. At the very least, he would be able to shoulder this responsibility better than himself. He was afraid that the person he wanted to entrust the World Rune to wouldn't be able to resist the temptation and would be controlled by the World Rune. After all, he had failed before. The child named Kylan was like this. He failed and brought a new torment and pain to this world.
A disaster called the Vengeful Flame Spirit.
A disaster caused by himself, to the world, to countless ordinary people, and to himself.
"Well, I've wasted too much time here. If you can sell me some food and water, I'll be very grateful. But if not, I'll have to leave."
In the end, Ritz didn't want to take the risk. After all, he could see that Li Ke was a person who wanted to 'do great things'. Such a person couldn't be entrusted with the World Rune, not to mention that he had provoked a troublesome Dark Ones. In this case, not only could Ritz not choose him, but he should also distance himself from him and stay away from him.
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that."
Li Ke certainly wouldn't reject such a request. He actually admired Ritz a lot, so after looking around and seeing Sivir and the others who were about to rush over from the sand dune, Li Ke lowered his voice and told Ritz what he knew.
"There's a red World Rune in a place full of ice in Freldrod. There's also a Void Creature with a large eye and countless tentacles that are blocked or sealed by ice. I don't know the exact location, but there should be a gathering place for Trolls on this path. And that's all I know, Mr. Ritz. "
This was the plot he saw in the League of Legends cinematics. He said it out loud just like when he faced Kassadin. This was because he wasn't sure if Ritz would still be able to obtain information about the World Rune after he would definitely change the world. After all, according to his guess, when Ritz found Freldrod, he would probably be leading the Freldrod Tribe to war with the Noxus people.
If there was an accident and the Void Creature obtained the World Rune, or if Ritz didn't find it and someone else found it, then it would undoubtedly be a disaster. He wasn't going to watch a bigger disaster unfold before his eyes just because he wanted to keep it to himself, or because he was worried that Ryze would make a move. But when he saw that Ritz's eyes were beginning to emit white light and his body was full of electric arcs, he added another sentence.
"As for the source of the information … You can treat me as a prophet who can only see troublesome things."
Transmigrators were always professionals at pretending to be a fraud. And a transmigrator who didn't change the plot, was he still a transmigrator?
